Lunchtime Seminars

This semester we continue to hold our lunchtime seminars on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Hunter faculty and staff and invited guests will discuss various methods to engage students; to incorporate technology into their classes (in all course modalities); to assess and redesign activities and courses. Join us when you can – we look forward to seeing you!

Unless otherwise noted, lunchtime seminars are held online from 12-1pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
